...tripartite meetings were separate bilateral sessions, between the U.S. and Egypt and between the U.S. and Israel. Vance and other top U.S. officials, for example, would meet at Holly Lodge with Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and other senior Israeli officials; the U.S. team would then move over to Laurel Lodge and sit down with Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Ibrahim Kamel and his associates. These sessions, which usually did not include Carter, Begin or Sadat, were apparently examining in detail the broad points raised by the tripartite gatherings. This was regarded as a positive sign.

Carter was counting on the "chemistry" of Camp David's setting and intimacy to help make the summit succeed. Much of this would depend on the informal contacts between the parties.

People make noises about "Victorian morality" as a synonym for all those repressive forces that denied humanity its natural evolution toward Hustler magazine and Laurel Canyon group-gropes, but Victorian culture is still somewhat enigmatic. Nowhere is this truer than in painting. Modernism, the art of the past hundred years, defined itself in opposition to 19th century "bourgeois" painting: the art of the Salon in France, of the Royal Academy in England. Cezanne, Picasso and Matisse were everything that Sir Edwin Landseer, Sir Edward John Poynter and Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema were not and could not be. There...
